I'm no expert, I just have an opinion. The largest 3 GRP yachts I've been on are Seeker 105 fly and an Azimut 105 and Pershing 90.

I agree the interiors of some Sunseekers look a bit "grandad" next to other offerings out there. But after a few years they will maybe look less dated as they aren't so much "fashion" yachts.

I would love a Wally 118, but would prefer if built in Holland! And put in a custom interior which is a mix between Wally 118, Pershing 115, Riva 115 and Azimut "S" style interior.

I think Wally is more like a Lotus, Sunseeker remind me of older luxury Jaguars with the wood and things.

I like Pershing's 115 and think they are better built than some of the above. Actually thinking about it they are inbetween minimal Wally interiors at one end of the spectrum and Riva and Azimut, then Sunseeker is at the opposite end of the spectrum. Pershing looks so modern. For eg I love the way the bed appears to be floating from some angles (quite a bold thing to do on a yacht since it kinda says we/you don't care so much about storage space!) Their white exterior fittings seem very restrained and modern. Almost like a hospital, a friend remarked once!

So I gravitate to the modern, more minimalist design, but would like a bit of added class and luxury with occasional use of marble, wood and carbon fibre. But I think some people would have a fit at putting a ganite or marble galley top or bathroom wall in a Wally that was built with carbon and titanium!
